Chapter 1036: March
Before knowing that in September, Yi Shin began to give the order to attack Goguryeo, and before that, Bae In-ki, who was located in Silla, was the first to receive the holy decree to attack Pyongyang from Silla, and the army from here gathered and went to Lulongsai round.
The vanguard is Luo Shixin, leading 50,000 troops, the second road is Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin, Wang Junkuo and other generals have been dispatched to guard the 100,000 troops of the imperial camp, but the back road is Qin Qiong and other young generals, escorting grain and grass, Han King Li Chengzong is the supervisor of the country, the general Li Jing, the auxiliary minister Du Ruhui, Chu Suiliang and so on stayed in Beijing, Wei Yuancheng and the eldest grandson Wuji followed Li Xin on the expedition, Cen Wenwen stayed in Luoyang, supervising the transportation of grain and grass, this is the first time Li Tang went to Goguryeo, the army has 150,000 people, although it is not the vast Yang Guang period, But the momentum is far above that year, Tang Feng before this, he preached, more importantly, this time the leader of the army is the Tang Emperor himself, which has strengthened the belief that the people of the Tang Dynasty will win.
"Auxiliary, do you know what these people are actually thinking?" Li Xin sat in the carriage, and in front of him was a white tiger skin, a treasure sent by a family in Yecheng.
"Naturally, I wish Your Majesty a victory and seize the territory of Goguryeo, and the minister heard that those great families are eager to enter Goguryeo and seize their market immediately." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.
"No, they'd love to see how I get back." Li Xin said with a smile: "Under the hypocritical smile, there is more greed, I have lowered taxes and brought them a lot of money, with these they will not be satisfied, they need more land, more power, I can't wait for all the officials in the court to belong to these families." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned. Unexpectedly, after Li Xin saw the white tiger skin at this time, his first reaction was to suspect these big families in Hebei and Shandong, and this feeling made him shudder.
"I don't want to leave some things to Chengzong. Chengzong can only be a benevolent monarch, so leave this good reputation to him! Li Xin said very calmly: "Hehe, sometimes I really hope that they will make a move. ”
"In the face of Your Majesty, I'm afraid they don't have the courage to do so." The eldest grandson Wuji said in a low voice.
"Whether you have the courage or not is not up to you, nor is it up to me to say, in fact, they have already started." Li Xin took out an account book from his arms and said, "For a month." The Kanto family has already begun to collect grain and grass on the market, and the grain and grass of the major families have been piled up, tsk, even I didn't expect that these Kanto families still have so much money and buy so much grain and grass, I can't wait to collect all this grain and grass. ”
"Your Majesty, do they want to harvest all the grain and grass on the market?" Eldest Sun Wuji hesitated for a while and said, "There shouldn't be this possibility." We have enough food and grass for these people to do anything. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the account book in front of him, and knew that Li Xin had probably done a lot of things for so long. Even a long time ago. Li Xin let people spy on the Kanto family, and only in this way can he get so many things, and he has the courage to open the account book. I saw that it was written in the ledger that on a certain day of a certain month, Zheng's family bought as much grain, and as much as Cui's bought on a certain day, a certain month, and a certain year. The Li family bought as much as they wanted, and the things on it were densely packed, almost killing the entire Kanto family. The eldest grandson Wuji was shocked when he saw it, not only because the things recorded above were very detailed, but more importantly, because the amount of grain and grass traded by the Kanto family was also shocking.
"Dou Yi." The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly thought of a possibility, was stunned in his heart, and secretly glanced at Li Xin, but saw that Li Xin's face was calm, and he lowered his head again, pretending to look at the account book in front of him.
Only Dou Yi, who controls the money village, can get the expenditure of every money of these families, and only Dou Yi can have countless business friends and get the amount of food purchased by these families every time. He thought of the appearance of meeting Li Xin and Dou Yi in Qingyun Tower that night, I am afraid that at that time, Li Xin had already made such a decision.
?“ These families will never be satisfied, how many years, how many years have they been in control of the government, from the Three Kingdoms period to the previous dynasty, it is the same, the replacement of dynasties, the struggle for imperial power, which is not the introduction of these families, auxiliary, have you heard of it? Now, with the rise of the imperial examination, these people are beginning to be anxious, for fear that those scholars will take their lives and take away the interests that belong to them, so they have stepped forward, eager for me to hand over all the positions in the Wude Hall to them, these people are really hungry! I just don't know if these guys can eat it. Li Xin said viciously.
The eldest grandson Wuji's heart was cold, on the one hand, he mourned silently for those big families, and on the other hand, he was shocked by Li Xin's boldness, Li Xin was ruined, if he succeeded, he naturally had nothing to say, but in this way, the loss was too great, and if he didn't get it right, he would become the second Yang Guang.
"Your Majesty, to what extent is this purge going to be?" Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help but ask.
"Split, split these families again, kill those who should be killed, and those who should not be killed, they will be split all over the country, what Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui or Xingyang Zheng, these can not be gathered in one place, once gathered in one place, it is easy to form a clan, form a clan, and it will be huddled together, and finally form a family based on blood, with land and money, and power, in the end, the court manages the family, and the family manages the place. At that time, was this Datang still my Datang? Li Xin said indifferently: "Of course, I can't kill all these people, get the maximum benefit at the lowest price, this is what I want, don't worry!" I am not Yang Guang, and I can't be Yang Guang. In Yang Guang's eyes, soldiers are like pigs and dogs, he will not put the lives of these soldiers in his eyes, but I am different, I improve the treatment of soldiers, these soldiers will obey me, but he will not obey these families. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded when he heard this, Li Xin and Yang Guang are different, Li Xin attaches great importance to the soldiers in the army, and the soldiers in the army also respect Li Xin, because Li Xin not only attaches importance to the army, but also brings benefits to these soldiers, leading them to win battles, and bringing rich benefits, which is really tied to the Tang Dynasty, far more trustworthy than those families.
